About Jose Guadalupe Posada:
Jose Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) is widely regarded as one of Mexico's most important artists and printmakers. Working primarily in Mexico City during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Posada created thousands of prints for newspapers, broadsides, and popular publications. His satirical calavera (skeleton) images became his signature, using death as the great equalizer to critique Mexican society, politics, and class structures.
Posada's work was largely forgotten until the 1920s when Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco championed his legacy, recognizing him as a crucial influence on modern Mexican art. Today, his calavera imagery is inseparable from Día de los Muertos celebrations and continues to influence contemporary artists worldwide.
